Kitchen appliances are all stainless steel - GE Profile side-by-side refrigerator, Maytag range with convection oven, and Frigidaire Gallery dishwasher. Front-loading clothes washer and dryer are included. The windows throughout the house (main floor and basement) are updated and energy efficient, as are the front and rear entry doors. Most windows include wooden blinds (a three-window series in the dining room includes drapes). All ceiling fans also are updated. The exterior siding is aluminum. Exterior features include a red brick retaining wall and planter in front. In the rear, a brick pathway leads from the patio to the alley, winding alongside the one-car garage. Gardens in the rear include two rows of glorious hibiscus, and two rose of sharon trees amid a row of hydrangeas. Other perennials include a bonsai-style juniper and a baby sumac. Fresh mulch was applied on all gardens this year. This home has all the character of its era - it's nearly a century old - but is move-in ready. The electrical wiring was modernized in 2003; all knob and tube was removed. The unfinished basement runs the length of the house, adding another 1,050 square feet of space suitable for recreation and storage to the home. Security features include a hard-wired security alarm and fire detection system (the security firm is local and very responsive), outdoor motion-sensor flood lights and a breeze-style wooden privacy fence fully enclosing the back yard. Neighborhood Description Great neighborhood just a walk away from Blessed Sacrament church and school. Great neighbors!
